Green Plus Ltd Takes over Former Ford Motor Aveley Emissions Lab in UK
LONDON--June 26, 2006--Green Plus Ltd, sister company of Biofriendly Corporation in the U.S., announced today that it has taken over the former Ford Motor Company Emissions Laboratory in Aveley, near London. The laboratory will be used to perform independent emissions and device testing for vehicle and engine makers as well as serve as a research and development facility for Green Plus Ltd and Biofriendly Corporation. The companies are the makers of Green Plus(R), a liquid fuel combustion catalyst that reduces harmful emissions and improves fuel economy in gasoline, diesel and heavy fuel oil.Green Plus has hired several members of the former Ford Motor Company staff, including Tony French, who served as manager of the facility for over 20 years. Initially, the lab will operate one test cell that can measure emissions for cars and light trucks to the level of Euro 4, the highest emission standard in effect in the European Union. The lab will utilize a Horiba Mexa 9000 system the company acquired from British Petroleum that has been fully reconditioned. The company will be seeking UK Vehicle Certification Authority (VCA) approval and it expects the lab to open in September, eventually operating three test cells.
"This facility has a proven track record for more than 20 years," said Tony French. "With the addition of newly certified equipment and some innovations introduced by Green Plus we are looking to further develop the level of service and precision," he added.
Mr. Noel Carroll, Managing Director of Green Plus Ltd, said, "The Aveley lab will once again be an asset to the emissions certification community. We look forward to serving the needs of manufacturers from all over the world." The 18,700 square foot facility is located just east of London.
